‘winters in july’ …all I can comment is that many of us here in the broiling states would easily switch places with you. We are on a record pace for dangerous heat and humidity and its covering most of the states. In Chicago, we are dreading each day, which is worse than the last. We have heat indexes in the 100’s. It is literally a boiling pot. And we lost power in my area yesterday for a spell.

So please- everyone be careful and check in on your loved ones, neighbors, and the elderly. This is very dangerous and we just cannot have the death toll we had in years ago when the heat wasn’t even as bad as it is right now. Please, everyone, be careful. And there is no immediate end in site.

When temps get this high, there are always reports of people dying – people who do not have AC, etc. I heard once that if the body temperature gets dangerously high, a person can find relief by filling up their bathtub with cold water and lying in that for a while. If you know anyone at risk, or you lose power, something to keep in the back of your mind.

Thanks Coco –
My entire neighborhood and the block I live on has many elderly people. My so and I over the years have done their yardwork and cleaned up after many snow storms. Now its kinda in my sons hands because of my back and spine disabilities and he does a great job. Thanked is sad is that many of these folks do have relatives, and for what reason I do not know,just have left them tobtheir own accord. Its just plain sad, but we do what we can

i’ve been in the hospital some thirty odd days with who knows how many more to go. i’m just playin the hand i was dealt. but as the nurse empties her syringe full of iv dilaudid straight into my mainline….and bam….your voice comes thru the escape pod simultaneously sending me off on some golden narcotic cloud. i just wanted to thank you for making the time slip by that much easier. thanks sk.

sounds like Armageddon……the end of the world or the end of one’s life…..am starting a project about Buddhism with my daughter….what a wise and gentle religion, sand mandalas, offerings of flowers that eventually die…..nothing lasts forever, am i right?
love always…..

there you go reconciling opposites again
some good ones there 🙂
I find a lot of anger has its roots in pride
what then does pride have its roots in?
whats the root cause of all these foibles…
something to reflect on
